Lots of activity today at the marina. Anyone with a motor boat or small sailboat are here to take their boat out of the water and store it on land before the arrival of Sandy. The weather is beautiful with no hint of the monster storm moving our way. Those of us who live on a boat are starting to take down the bimini and/or dodger (anything canvas), and doubling down on the dock lines.
I spent the day at the Department of Natural Resources getting the title and registration for our new dingy. The first attempt failed because Bob forgot to sign the form, and we did not get a rubbing of the registration number off the metal plate on the back of the boat. Yes, you read that sentence right, a rubbing with pencil and paper. So now I’m in front of the lady with my rubbing and I swear I’m not making this up, she took out a magnifying glass to look at it. She couldn’t make out one letter. For a few tense minutes I thought we would fail again but then she relented. Whew!

Another pretty day. All those boat owners who had to work Friday are here at the marina today to secure their vessels. We have run into everyone we haven’t seen all season. The happy result was 10 of us going out for drinks and dinner. A fun and relaxing evening with friends who we will miss sooo much. A big shout out to Jody who made us covers for our fenders. Thank you Jody and to all of you for treating Bob and I to dinner.

Today is cloudy with periodic gusts of wind. It looks stormy. No rain yet, that is suppose to start tonight. We had a leisurely breakfast. Bob is installing of new faucet in the head. Does anyone hear swear words? I’m reading and now updating this site. We are keeping a clear eye on the storms progress. Right now we’re warm and dry.
